It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

the titles we are currently reading.}

Fascinating book that reminded me a bit of Nielsen’s
A Night
Divided. Since my wife and I watched Amazon’s Man in
the High Castle, this seemed a fitting book to read.

I’ve always been fascinated about what it was like to live in Europe as a non-Jew during Hitler’s rise. Why didn’t people stand up to him? Why didn’t more fight back?

This is a glimpse into that—how kids were brainwashed and used as tools of the Reich against their parents. And as we see here, there were plenty of power-hungry adults willing to go along with what was going on, too.

For every parent who leaves a comment on TODAY’S POST with what YOU’RE reading, I’ll give your child a BUSTED ticket…

Talk about a page-turner! This is right out of the current news, and it reminds me of the series Homeland.
